AH the tiny cripples In the neighbor
hood of the settlement house, together
. with a few able-bodied children, had
been feasted on cake and lemonade.
When one of the deformed mites was
ready to go home he missed his coat,
which search failed to find. The young
woman who had been ministering to
the wants of the company had seen
one of the able-bodied girls go out with
something under her shawl too bulky
to be secreted cake.
"Run, my dear, to Jenny." she said
to one of the lads. "In picking up her
shawl perhaps she got hold of some
thing else by mistake."
The boy moved off on his stumpy
crutch, and when he returned he held
the coat up in triumph. The "accident"
had happened; Jenny had picked it up
with the shawl.
The crippled children crowded close
round the young woman in great per
turbation. Their self-respect had been
wounded, and they looked disdainfully
at the few sound children among them.
Finally one of the lads said:
"Miss Martin, it ain't one of us that
did it. Jenny ain't a cripple; she's
on'y a Sunday school!"

Nearly every newspaper tells of some
wonderful cure of some form of Kidney
Disease by the Great American Rem
edy, Dodd's Kidney Fills, and this part
of Arkansas is not without its share of
evidence that no case is too deeply
rooted for Dodd's Kidney Fills 1o cure.
Mr. A. . Carlile, well known and
highly respected here, tells of his cute
after nearly a quarter of a century's
suffering. Mr. Carlile says:
"I want to let the public know what
I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I
think they are the best remedy for
eick kidneys ever made.
"I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years
and never found anything that did me
so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I recommend them to all sufferers."
There is no unceitain sound about
Mr. Carlile's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from a life of suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back
ache to Bright's Disease.

STANLEY'S GREAT EXPLOIT. ,
Although the fame of Sir Henry M.
Stanley, who died in London on May
10th, will rest on his exploration of
the upper Congo and of equatorial Af
rica, It Is bis search for David Living
stone through the African jungles and
his finding of the missing missionary
at Ujiji, on the shore of Tanganuika,
that appeals most to the dramatic feel
ing of the world. In ''Eccentricities of
Genius," Major J. B. Pond quotes a
writty reference to this achievement,
which was made by Mark Twain in in
troducing Mr. Stanley to a Boston au
dience. "I am not here to .disparage Colum
bus," said Mr. Clemens. "No, I won't
do that. But when you come to re
gard the achievements of these two
men, Columbus and Stanley, from the
standpoint of the difficulties they en
countered, the advantage'is with Stan
ley and against Columbus.
"Columbus started out to discover
America. He didn't need to do any
thing at all but sit in the cabin of his
ship, hold his grip and sail straight
on. and America would discover itself,
Here it was, barring his passage the
whole length and breadth of two con
tinents. He couldn't get past it. He'd
got to discover it.
"But Stanley started out to find Doc
tor Livingstone, who was scattered
scattered abroad, as you may say, over
the length and breadth of a vast slab
of Africa as big as the United Staes,
It was a blind search for one of the
worst scattered of men."
In October, 1870, Stanley started out
from Bombay on his search 'for Doctor
Livingstone on behalf of two newspa
pers. The great missionary and geog
rapher, on the last sad trip of his life,
had plunged into the heart of Africa
from the east coast in the spring of
1866. For five years he had been
fighting for his life against the rav
ages of fever and disease, contending
vainly against his old foes, the slave-
traders, and wandering slowly about,
studying the regions to the west and
south of Tanganyika, cared for and
aided by the natives, who reverenced
him as a superior being.
Stanley moved inland from Zanzi
bar In the spring of 1871. By Juue he
had reached Unyanyembe, where he
was again delayed. At last he was
able to proceed into that vast wilder
ness, somewhere in which was Living
stone. Whether Livingstone had gone
across toward the west coast or had
tried to move northward toward the
Nile valley Stanley did not know.
The fact was that Livingstone, In ex
tremity, had returned to Tanganyika,
and had reached Ujiji. There, where
new supplies should have reached him,
he learned that all had been stolen. He
was almost hopeless and helpless, an
old man. ill, alone, with only the
friendship of a few native tribes be
tween him and death.
In the nick of time Stanley arrived,
after a month of wandering and terri
ble hardship. The meeting between
the two was most dramatic. To Liv
ingstone it meant new life. It buoyed
him up till all the hardships were for
gotten. Together the two explored
Tanganyika, and then went back to
Unyanyembe, where Stanley provided
Livingstone with new supplies and a
new party of faithful blacks. The old
missionary returned to the jungle, to
die a few months later, and Stanley re
traced his steps to g?ive the" world the
story of his achievement.
Cards, but Not a Draw.
"Did you ever try to play cards by
telephone?" queried the telephone
man. "Never? Well, I have been ex
perimenting with it, and, despite the
fact that it has some drawbacks,, it is
highly interesting, and ought to be
come a fad.
"My wne and I planned to go visit
ing a few nights ago, but an evening
Oi. rain spoiled our preparations. That
was where L got busy, and after mak
ing a few preliminary plans I decided
that we ought to be able to have a
visit by telephone, even to including
the playing of whist.
"I have a desk telephone in our din
ing room, and so I soon had a table
arranged and brought out a deck of
cards. Then I called up my friend by
telephone and he at once fell in with
the plan. He got out a deck of cards
and a table, and then I dealt our deck
face upwards,, calling out the cards
that I dealt to each, having first pro
vided imaginery seats for my friend
and his wife. As I called out the
cards to him he picked these cards out
and dealt them to correspond on his
own table. Of course, we were under
the disadvantage of knowing what
cards every player held, but the novel
ty of making each move by telephone
made this a minor matter. We would
play our cards to turn, always an
nouncing the card we played, and in
this way the game went on as if we
were sitting opposite each other at one
table. Instead of being about three
miles apart and playing by wire. I
don't think you could play poker in
that way, however."

wake from restful sleep, and in such
pain that I suffered for hours before I
could go to sleep again. I dreaded the
long nights as much as the weary days.
I consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief, but, finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.

C0HSUI1ED 3YA FIRE THAT!
Eczema drives its victim almost to the verge
of distraction by its intolerable itching, stinging
and burning. It seems to set the skin on fire,
and the tormented sufferer rubs and scratches
till the flesh is raw and the skin is torn and
bleeds. Nothing applied externally does much
good, for the disease is internal; the blood is
aflame with acid poisons, that are forcing their
way through the'glands and pores of the skin, causing it to redden
and swell and break out in splotches, pustules and pimples, from
which a clear, yellow, watery matter exudes, hardens and dries, and
then peels off in scales or fine particles like bran. Eczema kindles m
